Michael Davis wasn’t even supposed to be on the field this much this season.
After a down 2021, the Chargers signed J.C. Jackson, a seemingly obvious replacement for Davis, given second-year corner Asante Samuel Jr.’s progress on the opposite side. Like Davis, Jackson is a corner who excels playing press, but the former Patriot is also a ballhawk. Once Davis officially lost his starting gig to Samuel in the preseason, it seemed like he’d be a clear-cut candidate to open the 2023 offseason.
